Baryta paper roundup
« on: March 06, 2011, 02:49:07 pm »

I'm giving a talk to a local photography club later this month on black and white printing, and as part of that I'd like to include a quick little roundup of the various baryta papers on the market. Off the top of my head here's the baryta papers I can think of:

Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk
Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta
Hahnemuhle PhotoRag Baryta
Hahnemuhle Baryta FB
Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique
Pictorico Gekko Green
Harman Gloss FB AI

I'm sure I'm missing some though, and y'all can help fill in the blanks :) Thanks!

Canson Platine Fibre Rag
Cone Type 5 (Jon Cone - InkjetMall) - not highly visible, but an excellent Baryta paper. Warm like Silver Rag.

Harman Gloss FB AI  has become Harman professional inkjet by Hahnemuhle Gloss Baryta.

Somehow I had presumed that Harman professional inkjet Gloss Art Fibre was the same as Harman Gloss FB AI. If not, can anyone sum up the differences? I found the Harman websites (both new and old) to be not particularly informative. I'd be most interested to know if the Gloss Art Fibre contains OBAs.

I don't know if Neil is asking for real Baryta or Baryta/fiber-look.
Platine Fibre and Silver Rag are not Baryta papers, they are semigloss coated cotton rag.

InkPress, Tetenal, Fotospeed, PermaJet and Sihl have true baryta papers. Or that's what they say.
Looking for the baryta/fiber-look, then we have Epson Exhibition and Innova among others.

For the purposes of this list I'd like to keep them separate: real baryta vs. baryta-look.

Sorry. . .  I knew Platine did not use Baryta, but wasn't thinking clearly earlier today. Cone Type 5 however, is a Baryta paper (unlike Silver Rag).

Baryta will be used in more papers than branded Baryta and the ones with the Baryta name attached vary on Baryta content. In short, there is no standard. I have mentioned this before, the categories Fiber and Baryta are vague and could even dissolve in a the wider category Fine Art, Photography papers that also covers papers with barite in their coatings.

Tecco Baryte BT 270gsm
Tecco Baryte Ivory  BTI 290gsm
Sihl 4804 Prof. Photo Barite 290 gsm
FujiFilm Museum Baryte 300gsm
HP Baryte Satin Art 290gsm
Harman Baryta High Gloss 320gsm
Pictorico GKG Pro B&W Baryta Gloss 330gsm
which is probably the Gekko Green you already have.

Likely candidates without a Baryta indication in the name:
Pictorico GKR Pro B&W Cotton Gloss 265 gsm
Breathing Color Vibrance Rag 310gsm

Of the Baryta called I guess it will be a minimal content in:
Gekko Green
HM Baryta FB
FujiFilm Museum Baryte

I see today that Innova recently added a Baryta to its range:
Innova IFA69 Baryta 310gsm
My supplier adds the description (barite paper) to the
Innova IFA09 White Gloss 300gsm
The specs sheet of the Innova IFA39 Fibaprint White says:
-High white digital baryta paper-
I didn't check the other specification sheets but I expect there will be more barite containing papers.



met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst
